The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the demolition of existing garages
and erection of 5 no. affordable apartments with associated car parking.
The Committee
noted that the planning application had been submitted by Cambridge Investment
Partnership (CIP) which is a joint venture company set up by Cambridge City
Council and Hill Investment Partnership.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident speaking on behalf of residents of Markham Close flats.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Welcomed the fact that concerns regarding
safeguarding had been addressed.
ii.
Raised concerns regarding the loss of the parking
provided by the garages that would be lost.
iii.
Alternative garage provision was over half a mile
away.
iv.
Pressure on on-street parking would increase both
from the increase in housing units and the loss of the garages.
v.
Inadequate consideration had been given to the
needs and concerns of the existing community.
Stephen Longstaff (Applicant’s Agent)
addressed the Committee in support of the application.
The Committee:
Unanimously resolved to grant the application for planning
permission in accordance with the officer recommendation, for the reasons set
out in the officer report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the
officers.
